Asi y Asado - Cabo's best taco stand

Steven and Samuel are all smiles at Asi y Asado

You might know this restaurant (really, a covered porch) from Food Network.  Guy Fieri stopped in a few years back and raved about the food.  It's still here, next to the Office Max in Cabo San Lucas.  It requires a U-turn on a "Returno" lane, and it gets busy, but it is so worth finding.  My thanks to my awesome husband Steven for locating this joint, first on his smart phone and then in the dark in the rental car.

Being the gringos that we are, the waitstaff immediately switched to English and told us to sit wherever we desired.  We picked a table near the back, covered with a tablecloth with a skeleton cactus motif. All the tablecloths at this restaurant are quirky, which adds to the casual charm.  And the mister overhead makes this open air restaurant comfortable when the humidity hovers above 80%.

We started with a plate of grilled vegetables (corn, mushrooms, zucchini, green peppers) and then dug into a variety of tacos, at  just 40 Pesos each ($2.19).  The tacos come with just the meat (or fish) and then you head over to the fixings bar which includes dozens of toppings.  Our waiter thoughtfully steered me away from the hot sauces.  I was grateful.  The "suave and sweet" sauce I selected had more than enough kick for me.  We were too full for dessert of either cheesecake or flan, but are seriously thinking of returning tomorrow night.
